This is staggering. The bloke has barely had a kick. Hasn’t don’t anything for the club that put faith in him. He is showing zero respect for North.

It’s already happened a few years back. Can McCarthy at GWS requested a trade to Freo in his home state of WA. It was rejected. He then returned to WA and sat out for a year. The next year he requested trade again and GWS traded him to Freo for stuff all. 

Players hold too much power and it’s ruining the game.

Probably worse than that the power resides in the agents.

They are the ones whispering all this sort of diatribe to the players of "you are worth 1 million a year" ..

Almost totally rules us out of getting the top 8 pick we were looking for. Hope the club are steadfast on the two first rounders + 1 second rounder. Give them Jackson and a third back. Hopefully their initial demands stay true.

Here's hoping Freo enter the Bowes race so we can get Pick 7 instead.

How many number 1 picks have Carlton had?! Did I hear correctly recently that Horne-Francis is the only number 1 draft pick North have ever had?

Yep, JHF was their first. They'll have another one this year to boost up that leaderboard. And next year, and the year after...

Some good points but we did actually add Ben Brown which went long way towards winning us a Premiership....He was banged up this year, as were many others.  Our selection policy re injured players is one of the biggest things we need to change for following year.  Mostly i think we have the personnel.....Just some tweaks in gameplan, ball movement and selection integrity and we will be right in the mix again.

Agree

Gotta change the contracts for first rounder draftees. The top kids get drafted to the struggling clubs and want to leave straight away. A number one pick leaving after one season is not good for the game. 

Yeah but at the same time players being forced to play for a club they hate & don’t want to be at isn’t good for the game. Imagine your boss telling you that your stuck at a [censored] job where you hate the place & that you’re not allowed to leave. The AFL is the most draconian, backwards comp in the world in this regard & it hasn’t made the comp any fairer or even in 1 single way,despite what they preach.

I agree!

can’t see them letting him go 

 

What benefit is it to the club in keeping him?

The bloke refuses to train or play, still gets paid & then leaves at end of next year anyway. It happens in other sporting codes where blokes that don’t want to be there just disrupt the club, cause trouble & that hurts the club more. 
Take a trade now & get 2 good picks for him & get rid of the cancer. New coach & time to start fresh in their rebuild.

Rubbish.

Dees, Tigers, Bulldogs all with drought breaking flags in the last few years. Freo, Adelaide, GWS all in Grand Finals.

The evidence says you're completely wrong.

You do have to leave the door open for that stuff I guess. I still get this slight unprofessional feel from him though, it does seem a bit Scully like. Have to feel for North.

Oh I feel for North & I don’t agree with what he’s doing but the world is getting softer by the day & this is what the current generation is like. I think mummies boys that need to go home do mum can tuck them in like Jackson are pathetic. Hate to go to war with these blokes. But it’s the modern reality & it happens in other codes where they know they can’t force players to perform at a place they don’t want to be at.

McKay signs for 7 years with the Blues. No doubt this is a result as a number of clubs chasing him this year. 

Carlton will have some cap issues soon I wonder who they end up dumping.

That's going to have a ripple effect. Wonder how many clubs will now want to trade up and get their hands on Cadman now.

So if North don't get a deal done for Logue they are prepared to take him in the pre season draft? The richochet effect means West Coast are next in line and would take Jackson. Not sure how that affects our deal for Jackson but I kind of hope that North's no.1 PSD pick stays open as a threat as long as possible. Every bit counts.

Won’t start a new thread. Probably shouldn’t even post. Might delete later. 

 

Yeah, I think 5 minutes would be long enough before deleting 


Tarranto and Hopper could be Tigers as of today:

Richmond - TT & JH
GWS - 12, 19, 30 & F1

SEN said this morning that Freo are offering Pick 13 and F1, but want a second round in return. They can get farrked

 

If Freo can turn pick 13 into a top 10 pick it would end up the practically the same as we paid for Lever.  This would seem fair.

 

 

Trade radio this morning said that James Harmes was seen at the Hangar last week.

Yep, i am all about being reasonable.. but there is no way in hell we should give up anything other than the player.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
